Some-THING is Better than No-ONE

She opened her laptop and clicked at
the colorful circle-like icon, Google Chrome. She visited the Chrome site and
clicked at the themes. She patiently went through the themes and selected a
colorful one. It had little flowers and was bustling with life, vibrant and
cheery. Thus, she changed her only-black theme. She smiled, satisfied with
herself.

She looked around. The place
suddenly seemed to be a space stuffed with happiness.

Yes! She was happy that day. But
there was no one to share that happiness with. There were strangers and more
strangers. And the strangers were busy in their world – tapping on cell phone,
talking on cell phone, playing on the touch phone... And what not!

She has never been a gadget-freak.
She had a smart phone too; bought more to tickle her ego than to put into
anything useful. She never played games. And she loathed to read eBooks. All
she did was talk and message. Those calls and messages made her miss the loved
ones. She wished that such technology never evolved and that people were around
to talk. She missed that warmth people’s presence spread.

But that day, she felt strangely
happy. She felt as if her laptop and Google Chrome empathized. Each time when
she opened the browser, she smiled; she imagined that they are smiling at her.

I am striving hard to talk face to face but that is not possible always with my friends :(That's when technology comes in hand!My phone is my best friend, because it ensures that I am close to all my friends at least emotionally if not physically :)
